Quick interview with Ben Nuss – our outgoing chair person, and Paul Hadley, our returning chair.

We will miss Ben massively, but are so grateful to have Paul back.

Take it to the Lord in prayer

Last Sunday night at ‘Redefine‘ we looked at the topic of prayer. This was as part of the follow up course we are doing from the brilliant Higher tour North Wales. It was an excellent night.

We’d set the room we were using up like an indoor campfire; with fairy lights in the place of an actual fire; and had comfy pillows and bean bags set in a circle around the fairy lights ‘campfire‘.

After a fun start playing some group games, we watched the Higher tour video about prayer and had a great teaching time looking at prayer.

It was really great seeing the young people discuss and think about prayer; how they can talk with God whenever and wherever knowing that He listens to them. “You will answer me, God; I know you always will,
like you always do as you listen with love to my every prayer.” – Psalm 17:6

It was also great that at the same time the young people were learning about prayer, we were holding our monthly ‘Prayer Gathering‘ in another room. This was well attended and we shared about the Higher Tour and some of the needs that we are facing at Llandudno Youth for Christ. We also sang some songs of worship to God and prayed for the young people in our area.

We are so grateful for the amazing group of people that regularly come to our prayer gatherings and support us in prayer. Thank you for lifting us and our needs up to God in prayer.

Talking of needs, one of the areas where we have a need is that of volunteers at some of our projects and also at our Saturday Cafe that runs on the second and fourth Saturday of each month. We need people to help out in the kitchen with the cooking and also with other areas of the Reverb Saturday Cafe, such as waiting on and making drinks. We also are looking for more volunteers for ‘Recess‘ our Thursday Christian Union meetings in Ysgol John Bright and Ysgol Aberconwy and our new project, ‘Shuffle & Shake‘ on Friday nights in Colwyn Bay.

If you feel that you want to help us in one of these areas, then please do not hesitate to email us on llandudnoyfc@gmail.com or telephone the office on 07517 429 763 (office opening hours are 9am to 5pm on Mondays and Wednesdays and 9am to 12pm on Fridays)

Thank you and keep on praying.

At Llandudno Youth for Christ, we are always on the look out for more people to join us in this amazing work of sharing the gospel relevantly to young people in Llandudno and beyond.

It is a fantastic privilege to be able to be part of something wonderful that God is doing through LLYFC in North Wales. And we have so many different ways in which people can help.

We have our ‘Reverb Saturday Cafe‘ that runs on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month. This is a brilliant social endeavour that not only provides a wonderful haven for people in Llandudno to rest and have a delicious meal and refreshing drink, but also raises much needed funds for the work that we do at Llandudno Youth for Christ. We are always on the look-out for people to work with us here, whether it is waiting-on, serving at the till, cooking in the kitchen or helping with the washing up, more people to help are always welcomed and sought after.

Then we have the various different youth-work projects that we run. ‘Reverb‘ our Thursday after school youth drop in that runs from 3:15-5:15pm, ‘Redefine‘ our Sunday night Bible Study group that is held from 6-8pm, ‘Recess‘ our two Lunch-time Christian Unions in Ysgol Aberconwy and Ysgol John Bright and our latest project ‘Shuffle & Shake‘ held on Friday evenings in Colwyn Bay. In all of these projects we’d love to have more volunteers to work with the young people and be living, breathing examples of God’s love.

If you feel that you’d like to help and volunteer in any of the projects mentioned above, then please don’t hesitate to contact us on 07517 429 763 or via email – llandudnoyfc@gmail.com

Tim’s Big Trek

Hey – Tim here – can you spread the word?

This autumn 2020, I’m doing the craziest thing I’ve ever done (other than marry an American) – I’m climbing 17,600ft up to Everest Base Camp in Nepal to raise money, not only for Llandudno Youth for Christ, but for a brand – new – centre in Wales!

Below is the video announcement I made in December 2019 about this exciting fund-raiser.

Praying for more fruit

Last Friday night in Llandudno’s Venue Cymru a fantastic Christian outreach event for young people was held. The Higher tour, an evangelistic event run by the Message Trust.

The Higher tour had been holding assemblies and R.E. lessons in schools throughout North Wales, from Holyhead to Prestatyn to Mold. It was brilliant. There was also a group that visited schools in the Llandudno area.

To cap off the week of outreach a large evangelistic music concert was held at Venue Cymru, here the bands that had been going into the schools performed their music much to the delight to the young people that attended.

The night was a great success with over 1,000 young people in attendance.

At the end of the event an appeal was made to the young people and over 400 responded indicating that they wanted to ask Jesus into their lives.

It was simply brilliant and amazing.

The tour had born much fruit and we pray that as Llandudno Youth for Christ, and other youth groups and churches in the area do follow-up work with the young people that there would be even more fruit and fruit that will last and have an impact upon the whole of North Wales.

Please do be praying with us for this and also thanking God for the great harvest we saw on Friday night.

Be blessed!

For Yours is the Kingdom…

/0 Comments/in , , /by

We have just 1 week left at Redefine of our series focussing on the Lord’s Prayer. Last Sunday night we looked at ‘Give us our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us’.

This coming Sunday we will be looking at ‘For Yours is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory, for ever and ever, Amen.’ I love how the prayer starts and finishes with us focussing on God.

We are trusting in Him, our Father, to answer our prayers; so it’s great knowing that the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory are His. All that we do is in Him, through Him and for Him.

Please be praying for the young people as we finish off looking at the Lord’s Prayer, that they would see how truly amazing God is and that their faith in Him would grow and become more firmly established.

Also this week all over the North Wales coast, from Holyhead to Prestatyn, the Higher Tour is taking place. This is a great outreach event that we are praying will produce much fruit as young people hear the gospel presented to them in relevant and meaningful ways.

We’re really excited and expectant over what God is going to do in the lives of young people in North Wales this week. This is a great opportunity. Please be praying for the week’s events.

Thank you and Be blessed!
